Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Sengai Gibon could be acquired at Christies in New York in March 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art auction, the work Yawning Hotei changed hands for USD 5,400.00 (€ 4,448.47) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sengai Gibon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Famous moments in the lives of Zen monks in September 2011 with an auction result of USD 74,500.00 (€ 55,394.45).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Sengai Gibon konnte im März 2006 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art wechselte die Arbeit Yawning Hotei für USD 5.400,00 (€ 4.448,47) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000,00 – 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sengai Gibon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Famous moments in the lives of Zen monks im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 74.500,00 (€ 55.394,45).
